adamjjohn203, I have canopy very similar to yours. What do you mount to on your roof? Are the poles you are using sourced from somewhere else or did you modify the original poles that came with your canopy?

I used the existing poles....pulled apart the one side and lengthened the ones to have them tuck back to wheels.
I just attach one side to the luggage rack cleats and the other to the back door._________________'87 Westfalia

I have had that awning for a couple years and it's held up pretty good. I believe it was $30 when I bought it. I've never tried attaching it to the van but I have thought about it. __________________________________________________

I just used a couple spring clamps in the picture there. More than two will be needed to stretch and attach it properly while camping.

I read a thread on here somewhere (I can't find it at the moment) about folks with similar awnings sewing on a strip with magnets along one edge, I think I'm going to try that. Clamps would work in a pinch though._________________86 Vanagon Wolfsburg/Weekender

Got mine last fall on sale for $40. Its not as good as $26, but WAY better than a $700 dollar set up. Used it over Labor Day and it blocks the sun just fine IMHO. I use small spring clips to attach to the drip rail and store it in the tray in the rear hatch.
